hi all. i have a 1995 chevy 6.5TD (listed in sig)
it has the HD motor (L65 code IIRD) and 3.73 gears in the diff's.
i am going to be going on a 350 mile trip, towing an equipment trailer and my jeep on it in a little over a week. it will probably weigh between 5500 and 7000 lbs
my question is, what should i do before that? i have heard egt/boost guages are a good thing to have before going on a haul like this, but where do you get these guages at, and how do they work? are they generic, or vehicle specific? i did some searching, but did not come up with a whole heck of alotta info. any help is appreciated. thanks.
